Energy production

In Belgium, ENGIE combines different power generation technologies to contribute to a flexible and reliable electricity system. At the same time, ENGIE continues to transform its activities, with the ambition of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045.

In Belgium, ENGIE has an extensive and diversified power generation fleet, spread across more than 90 sites and comprising around 200 large and smaller production units. The fleet combines different technologies, each with its own characteristics and role within the electricity system.

This diversity makes it possible to draw on different sources of generation and respond to the needs of the electricity system. The fleet includes both power plants that can be operated flexibly and facilities that generate electricity from renewable sources, including wind and hydropower. In this way, ENGIE combines different forms of electricity generation within a single generation fleet. Discover our production units here.

Renewable electricité and renewable molecules

The further development of the energy system relies, among other things, on renewable electricity and renewable molecules. In Belgium, ENGIE is active in the production of electricity from renewable sources, including wind and hydropower, as well as in the production of renewable molecules such as biomethane.

Flexible production

Flexible production involves the use of innovative technologies such as gas-fired power plants, battery energy storage systems and hydrogen production technologies. These technologies can be used to meet fluctuations in energy demand, compensate for the intermittency of renewable electricity, and ensure the stability of the electricity grid.

Nuclear energy

Nuclear energy is part of Belgium’s energy mix. ENGIE is responsible for the professional operation of Doel 4 and Tihange 3, the country’s two most recent nuclear reactors. Under the agreement with the Belgian government, both reactors will remain in operation until 2035 and together represent 2 GW of generation capacity. They contribute to Belgium’s security of supply and support local employment.
